Young Bevon Jacobs earns maiden international call-up as NZ name squad for SL T20Is
New Zealand's young talent Bevon Jacobs has been handed his maiden international call-up after being added to New Zealand's squad for a three-match T20I series. The young gun was recently picked up by Mumbai Indians at the IPL auction last month.
Following his incredible performance, Jacob has been handed his maiden call, being the only uncapped player in New Zealand's squad. This is also Mitchell Santner's maiden assignment as New Zealand's permanent white-ball skipper. Tom Latham, Will Young and Will O'Rourke have been added to the team's ODI squad. The first T20I will be played on December 28.
"It's obviously an exciting time for Bevon and his family. He's a promising player with a lot of talent and we're looking forward to exposing him to international cricket," NZC selector Sam Wells said.
"He's clearly got a lot of power with the bat, but he's also shown in the longer formats that he has a decent technique and temperament."
New Zealand T20I squad: Mitchell Santner (c), Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes, Mitchell Hay, Matt Henry, Bevon Jacobs, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Robinson, Nathan Smith
